  • Publication number: 20060196325
    Abstract: Tool rest enabling tool holders to be installed quickly and easily onto, and precisely aligned with respect to, the tool-rest turret. The turret (30) is a rotatably supported, polygonal columnar component onto the peripheral surface of which the tool holders are detachably/reattachably mounted. A first key (32), second key (33), and third key (34) having parallel side engagement surfaces (32a), (33a), (34a) are formed protruding from the tool holder mounting surfaces (30a) on the outside of the turret 30. The engagement surfaces (32a), (34a) of the first key (32) and third key (34) are parallel to each other, and the engagement surfaces (33a) of the second key (33) are perpendicular to the engagement surfaces (32a) of the first key (32). Key slots in which the keys (32), (33), (34) are inserted and which engage the engagement surfaces (32a), (33a), (34a) of the keys are formed in the turret mounting face.
